Lino Dimaala Bocalan (September 28, 1928 – March 4, 2000) was a Filipino businessman and politician from Tanza who served as the 26th governor of Cavite. Born to a poor family, he lived as an illiterate fisherman. After World War II however, Bocalan sold leftover gunpowder to Mindanao merchants in exchange for cigarettes, elevating his socioeconomic status through smuggling and becoming a millionaire at a relatively young age, which attracted many politicians into gaining his support and funding. He first worked for Justiniano Montano, and eventually Ferdinand Marcos. His association with Marcos benefitted his run for governor, winning the position in 1971. However his term was cut short after the declaration of martial law and he was placed under house arrest on September 24, 1972, and was eventually replaced by Vice Governor Dominador Camerino.
